Whistleblower Policy Development
​
We assist nonprofits and small businesses in designing and implementing legally compliant systems for receiving, investigating, and resolving employee complaints. We design whistleblower policies that help protect individuals who raise concerns, mitigate organizational risks, and address issues early before they escalate into costly litigation or government scrutiny. Our policies are crafted to meet our client’s unique business needs, such as for nonprofits in the AbilityOne Program subject to AbilityOne Commission Compliance Policy 406 and applicable mandatory reporting requirements, including FAR 52.203-13.

Whistleblower Hotline Management

We provide and manage an outsourced whistleblower hotline though a nationally recognized provider. To reduce costs for small organizations, we offer a shared services model that delivers access to a professional 24/7 web and phone-based reporting system without the high price tags or need for dedicated staff to manage it. Our team processes complaints, conducts initial credibility assessments, and recommends next steps. If needed, we offer legal support and internal investigations.
